Descrizione
Introduction:
We acquired this wonderful by-product from our Yorkshire Wool tweeds, knowing it was just too good to let it go to waste.
These colourful textured wonders form an integral part of the construction of the fabric, providing a stable edge to the fabrics whilst being woven, they are cut off the fabric before it goes to the finishers.
Our fabric expert Dawn, has a magpie’s eye for beautiful textiles and noticed a myriad of coloured yarns artfully woven in these useful selvedge trims.
This collection of selvedges all contain a mixture of yarn combinations to the centre band consisting of rust, red, grey, blue & brown. The complementary hues that give the impression of a woven braid. Forming a double-sided fringed trim with a similar style to the bespoke trim one would find on a French couture jacket.
Other Uses:
Ideal uses include adding raw edges to your garments, creating rag rugs or incorporating them into textile makes.
Disclaimer: This trim is raw with an open, unfinished wool meaning there are loose fibres which may be irritable to those with allergies.
Our Yorkshire Wool Selvedge's are sold in half-metres for 50p, to order 2 metres simply add 4 units to your basket.

Customer Reviews
Gorgeous colours to co-ordinate with a range of tweeds. Excited to plan how I will incorporate this to embellish a project- probably a tweed bag…
The fabric edging itself was good, but the amount I received for the price I paid was pathetic, I cannot do anything with it. I am a rug weaver, I cannot even weave a seat pad with the ridiculous amount I was sent. Extremely disheartened, and angry!..I mill continue buying from my usual supplier, and give Fabworks a very wide birth!
Lovely colours & great quality wool trim.
